The Butcher
This man came to me
He was looking for action
Pulling a blade to my neck
He said, "Call me the butcher
'Cause that's my trade
You know that I've come to collect"
I said
"Hit me now and we'll see where it leads
Cut me out if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you're a man
'Cause I know that you don't understand"
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You'll never kill him that lives inside of me
He looked into my eyes
All he saw was conviction
Dropping the blade to the earth
I said, "How could you think that I'd ever retreat?
You know that I'm already dead"
I said
"Hit me now and we'll see where it leads
Cut me out if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you're a man
'Cause I know that you don't understand"
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
I've erased all of my fear of the grave
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You'll never kill him that lives inside of me
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
I've erased all of my fear of the grave
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You'll never kill him that lives inside of me
He was looking for action
Pulling a blade to my neck
He said, "Call me the butcher
'Cause that's my trade
You know that I've come to collect"
I said
"Hit me now and we'll see where it leads
Cut me out if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you're a man
'Cause I know that you don't understand"
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid?
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You'll never kill him that lives inside of me
He looked into my eyes
All he saw was conviction
Dropping the blade to the earth
I said, "How could you think that I'd ever retreat?
You know that I'm already dead"
I said
"Hit me now and we'll see where it leads
Cut me out if you think I will bleed
Strike me down if you think you're a man
'Cause I know that you don't understand"
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
I've erased all of my fear of the grave
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You'll never kill him that lives inside of me
Because there is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
I've erased all of my fear of the grave
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You wonder why I'm not afraid
There is no weapon
There is no blade
You'll never kill him that lives inside of me
